GOVERNOR WEST'S REFORM IX HIS oninpaign against orgiuuKod vioo, mid organizod crime, Governor West will havo (ho support oC tho best citizens of the stale. Vice flourishes mainly because corrupt and inefficient officials do not enforce laws that are in the statute books. Tho only way that conditions can be remedied is by tho removal" of delinquent officials, or through publicity that so awakens public opinion that pressure resulting compels enforcement, resignation, removal or recall. The mere fact that governors of Oregon have not here tofore exercised (he authority vested in them (o interfere when local officials Avere notoriously delinquent, is no argument against the use of such power when occasion requires it. Governor "West borrowed trouble when ho began his crusade, but he has the courage of his convictions and is not afraid of trouble. He regards it as part of his duties, and intends to live up to his conception of his oath of office. It would have been a far easier course to have let crime take its way. Ho has silenced critics by announcing that he is not a candidate for re-election. The outcry that has been raised against Governor "West is the same that has been raised from time im memorial against law enforcement when lax administration had permitted vice to flourish. It was raised against Tom "Word when he closed the gambling palaces in Portland. It was raised against Sunday closing of saloons and elimination of restricted districts. It is raised today in Now York against the district attorney for ending tho police-gamblers graft alliance against all reforms and reforms since time began The mayor of Kedmond was ordered to resign by the governor, because he not only refused to enforce the law, but had been himself convicted and fined for gambling. Tho mayor of Ilarrisburg, having been found guilty of running a "blind pig," has been ordered to resign. District Attorney Cameron of Multnomah, having refused to obey the law, having been notoriously inefficient and besmirched with corruption, is removed and we hear talk of invoking recall because the governor has ousted unfit men, who have proved recreant to their oath of office. It is true that people cannot be made virtuous by law, but crime can be limited and suppressed by law, and that is what law is for. If the laws are objectional. change them, but officials are elected to enforce them, and when they not only refuse to do so, but are themselves violators, they should be ousted. If Governor West had never done anything to commend him to the people of Portland, his removal of Cameron should make a warm spot in their hearts for him for the prostitution of government Cameron practiced was far worse that that prostitution he permitted to flout its shame upon the public streets. "While Governor West has a hopeless task in purify ing Portland, he can help eliminate some of its worst phases, and he can clean-up its prostitutes in rmblic office. The Home Rule organization secured the rejection of prohibition in Oregon upon its promises to render effectual aid in law enforcement and crime suppression, and it should, for the future of the liquor industry, actively aid the governor in driving out of business the' irresponsible, the vicious and the crime creators, instead of protecting them and threatening him Avith talk of recall. As long the liquor interests support corruption and crime, seek to impede reform, rush to the support of vicious elements, and play polities to carry out law violations as long as they keep the dollar above human ity just that long will the business be regarded with suspicion and threatened by retaliatory legislation by an outraged public. How the Public Bears the Burden of the Tariff WASHINGTON', Anjr. 27. "How the public bears tho burden of the tariff," wag illustrated in a state ment by OM'fir "Underwood of Ala bama majority leader in tho house, who recited tho record of the pres ent coiifrrc.ss.

Tho wall paper was taxed 25 per ceut and plain iuruiture U5 por cent, lie hangs his hat on a stcl jin taxed '15 per cent, and uses eonp taxed 20 per cent. His look ing glass was taxed 45 per cent nnd ho combs his hair with a rubber comb taxed .15 pur cent. "He proceeds to eat supper, which was cooked on u stove taxed 45 por cent for which his wife used pots and kettles taxed at the sumo rate, On their tuble is common crockery taxed 55 por cent and cheap glass tumbler) laxed 45 per cent. The sugar hu puU in his tea ta taxed 01 per cent, which he stirs with a fijMion taxed 45 per cent. His meal is a frugal one, becuuto tho coat of li iag is high, 'J'al.Iu t'tciihlls Also "Ho uses a knife and fork taxed 45 per ceut, in eating suit tish, taxed 10 per cent, bread 20 per ceut, po tatoes 22 per cent, salt M per cent, butter 24 per cent and rice 02 per ceut. He proceeds to read a book taxed 25 por cent and at the com of the day reclines in an iron frauu-d bed, taxed 45 per cent, with n mutt rojjs taxed 20 per cent, sheets taxed 40 per cent, woolen blankets 45 jer cent and n cotton spread 45 per cent. "He is taken ill and tho doctor prescribes medicine taxed 25 per cent, which being ineffective ho pusses from his nctivo sphere of life and his remains are deposited in a coffin taxed .'15 per cent, which is conveyed to a cemetery in a wagon taxed .15 per cent, deposited in its last rest ing place in mother earth and the gravo tilled in by uso of a spade taxed 45 per cent, while over his gravo is raised a monument taxed 50 per cent." Underwood reviewed in detail and at great length tho legislation pass ed by tho democratic house, accus ing tho republicans of "breaking faith in tariff legislation," and of misconduct, extravagance nnd greed" in their general policy.

To tho Editer: I havo no other way of reaching Mr. Optimist who wroto In tho Trl buno of August 22(1. than through your paper, as there Is no such a name going through tho post office or known to tho public. Hut to Mr. Optimist who charges Mr. Shields with "Attempting to cloud tho Isauo" I would like to say a word and to ask tho voters to tat'to notice, as they are tho real law makers. Tho question of clouding the Issue does not rest In tho question of who Is supplying tho funds, but the rais ing ot the question does cloud tho Is sue. Mr. Shields charges nnd with good reason for doing so thnt the Issue In Slnglo Tax. Mr. "Fels, who by tho way does not own property In this state but who la admittedly furnish ing tho means to carry on this cam paign In fnvor of Single Tax, admits It. Mr. U'Rcn his campaign mana ger In this state admits It and in langungo that clearly acknowledges that ho has been working under a rlnutl. an nolo tho following InncuaKO for Mr. U'Rcn as quoted In tho report of tho Kels Fund Commission of dato November 20, 1910, nnd was uttered by Mr. U'Ron nt a meeting of tho Commission held In New "iork tho snmo month. "Wo havo cleared the way for a fltrnlcht. filnirlo T;tx flcht In Oregon. All tho work wo havo done for direct legislation haB been done with tho Slnclo Tax In view, nut wo havo not talked Slnglo Tax because thnt was not tho question before tho houso now that question Is beforo tho house In Oregon and wo will dis cuss It In that Btato. Since wo begun our work with Slnglo Tnx ns tho goal In view wo have confined ourselves to tho question In tho noxt election, to do otherwise la to confuse tho voters." Now Mr. Optimist, when you voted for direct legislation did you do so with tho full knowledge and under standing that you wcro playing Into tho net or a party who ndmlt tnai they wcro working for ono Rpoclflc end?
